League of Realms

The League of Realms tracked Malekith the Accursed and his Dark Elves to Alfheim, and manage to stop them, but once again Malekith slipped away. Thor worried about his League falling apart in front of him, but figured out a way for them to bond together, even if for just a little while. They head to the nearest tavern, where Thor and Ogg engage in a drinking contest, while the others wager on the winner. Later, outside, Thor has other plans for winning Waziria's trust, and kisses her passionately.[1]

War of the Realms

For the opening salvo of his War of the Realms, Malekith declared war against Alfheim. He slaughtered countless of Light Elves and marched towards Ljosalfgard.[10] Complying to ancient treaties,[20] the Dwarves of Nidavellir agreed to welcome Light Elf refugees into their land.[9] While Thor (Jane Foster) assisted the Light Elves in fighting the invading forces, Queen Aelsa held a meeting with Malekith to negotiate peace. The Dark Elf King had her brainwashed with magic and forced to take his hand in marriage to unify the Light and the Dark Elves.[9] Following the marriage, Aelsa snapped out of the brainwashing, but before she could take action, she was imprisoned in her own dungeons.[21]

The Dark Elves proceeded to raze Afheim and consume its resources over the following months.[22] When the League of Realms traveled to Alfheim to rescue Queen Aelsa, Malekith set in motion his plan to burn down Alfheim after having determined the realm outlived its usefulness. After starting a fire, Malekith attempted to murder Queen Aelsa. While she was plummeting to her death, Aelsa was saved by Mjolnir and taken to safety. Thor subsequently cast a storm to extinguish the flames, but most of Ljosalfgard had already burned down.[23]

When Baron Zemo used the Norn Stones; Hawkeye was transported to Alfheim.[24] When he awoke he found the Light Elves fighting a desperate battle against Loki's forces, composed mainly of monstrous wolves. Hawkeye teamed up with Faradei to beat back the forces.[25]
